LRDG test-game

We
had a test-game of our LRDG-participation-con-game two weekends ago.

An Italian airfield attacked by a couple of LRDG vehicles with a mission to make as much mayhem as possible. You get the idea from the pictures.

Lots
of fun, and we got a lot of good ideas to incorporate in the scenario.
Apologies for the unpainted stuff in the pictures, it will hopefully be
finished before Flemcon in early December. There's also a couple of buildings missing.

This
is the game we planned to have ready two years ago (a little project, should be
finished in no time... yeah, sure...) but it has dragged on, and on. Now it
looks as if it might actually make to the table. Me, Laffe and Thomas are the
painters and organizers on this.

Anyway,
as you can see, there is a very unfinished plane on the table, and there is
another un-built plane in my plastics-and-tin-mountain. More on that in a later
post.

Alternate set-up for the airfield.

have, then make a comment below and I’ll update the post.

Brilliant! Years ago we played a game similar to this in 20mm. All the players were LRDG/SAS vieing for fame and glory, zipping around in their Jeeps and Chevys shooting the bejeezus out of everything. (As I'm sure you well know getting aircraft in 1/72 is MUCH easier pill to swallow than 1/48!)

My rating system

5 - A masterpiece. You have to read/see/visit.4 - Really good. Strongly recommended it if it is a subject of interest, and probably worth reading/seeing/visiting if not.3 – It’s OK. If it’s a subject you’re interested in, it’s probably worth reading/seeing/visiting. Otherwise you can probably skip it.2 - Well, not really... If it’s your subject you could possibly find something in it worth your while. Otherwise stay clear.1 - Stay clear. This is a waste of your time.
